Current staff have a development plan which supports their ongoing professional development and provides at least 5 days each year to keep their skills up to date. The content of the development plan will be driven by the requirements of the tax regime and their particular role.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 19/01/2018 13:58:05 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
